expression for Î, in spherical coordinates is so much simpler than for θ or Î, (cf.
Equation 6.37). Clearly the rotating system does not know x from y from z and, in
fact, this inability to distinguish between the three directions explains the (21 + 1)-fold
degeneracy.

Up to now we have solved Equation 6.9, giving the angular part of the hydrogen atomic
orbitals. Now we will solve Equation 6.8, giving the radial part of the hydrogen atomic
orbitals. Equation 6.8 with ß set equal to 1 (1+1) can be written as
dR [ħ²1(1+1)

Equation 6.43 is an ordinary differential equation in r. It is somewhat tedious to solve,
but once solved, we find that for solutions to be acceptable as the wave functions, the
energy must be quantized according to

It is surely remarkable that these are the same energies obtained from the Bohr model of
the hydrogen atom. Of course, the electron now is not restricted to the sharply defined
orbits of Bohr but is described by its wave function, (r, 0, 0).
In the course of solving Equation 6.43, we find not only that an integer n occurs
naturally but that n must satisfy the condition that n ≥ 1 + 1, which is usually written as
0<l<n-1
n = 1, 2, ...
(6.46)
because we have already seen that the smallest possible value of 1 is zero. (Equation 6.46
might be familiar from general chemistry.) The solutions to Equation 6.43 depend on
two quantum numbers n and I and are given by
